ELL ARP TALKS.
His Views on Slavery--JudSc Hiram
Warner.
From the New York Tribune.)

(From the New York Tribune.
A quaint and pleasant talker of the old
school is Major Smith-"Biu Arp"-of
Atlanta, Ca, who was here the other
day to deliver lecture. The Major was
STAKEHOLDER in his younger days, hav-
ing received three families of negroes.
some twelve persons in all, as the we'd
ding portion of his wife, In talking
about the slave question, he said: t'Hhis
talk that the South lost Sl0G, 900, 900 by
the emancipation proclamation is all
nonsense. I am prepared to show that
the South did not lose a dollar. In all
my experience as slave-owner, II l
ever made dollar by their labor do
not know it. We got their labor in ex-
change for their food and their clothing,
the rearing of the young and caring for
the old. We get their labor for the same
price now without having the burden Of
responsibility for the young and the
aged and the sick. We used to pay their
doctors bills; now they pay their own.
The difference is already seen from the
fact that many men are accumulatlng
wealth through the employment of re-
groes who never got ahead dollar IN
the slave days, although they were own
ers Of many slaves"
In chatting about Northern men
Major Smith remarked that many North
ern men had gone into the South to
make their homes there during the
slavery period who attained distinction.
Among others he cited Judge Hiram
Warner, native of Vermont, who oc-
cupied the highest Judicial position in
the State of Georgia on the bench OF
the Supreme Court for thirty-seven
years. cit is curious phase of human
nature said Major Smith, "that as old
age comes creeping on the incidents and
scenes of boyhood come impressIvely to
the mind. 1t was so with Judge War
ner. I remember talking with him in
his old days, when he told me he was
going to Vermont to see again the green
hills and the wooded slopes and the trout
streams and the trees under which he
basked in his boyhood days. He be-
came part of the South, but he had
not forgotten his old home in the
North %

Resources of Russia.

The understanding OF people in gener-
Il is that Russia, head over heels in
debt, finds it difficult to raise money to
keep the wheels of government moving.
The history OF the most recent attempt
at st. Petersburg to raise money dis
proves this and indicates quite differ
ent state of facts. 1t was at first pro-
posed that the new popular loan should
be about S30,000,O00. Subscriptions
we're call for, and on the 18th ult. it was
announced that ten times the sum re-
quired had been offered. Three days
later dispatches from ST. Petersburg
stated that the enormous sum Of 81 POO.
900, 900 had been offered, and that the
government would take only S60,000,-
100. 1t is worthy of being noted that
simultaneously with this loan rumors OF
warlike nature are heard and that 6
war feeling not previously existing is
manifesting itself at ST. Petersburg.

EARTHQUAKES ARE COMMON.
We Have Always Had Them and May EN-.
pect Many More.
(From the New York Tribune.)

(trOm the New OTk Ir1DuAe.j
An educator who has given much
study to earthquakes and volcanoes is
Professor John X. Rees, OF Columbia
college. He is stoutly built man Of
perhaps thirty-fve, with q round and
chubby face, a black mustache and more
the air of a business man than student.
Talking with me IN the Lincoln National
Bank the other day, he remarked that in
a long series Of years each section OF the
country was visited by about the same
average number of earthquake shocks.
'sThe reason any new shock appears
phenomenal is because the people forget
the former ones," said the professor.
s.We have kept records of shocks in
New England and the Middle States, and
find that they come year in and year out
with about the same regularity. The
shock that are being reported from the
west appear phenomenal to the people
out there because they have no records
back of period Of forty or fifty years,
and within that period have forgotten
occurrences of the same kind or have
failed to record them. If some old miner
is alive whose memory runs back of fifty
years he can tell them. AS to the vol
canic phenomenon in Arizona have no
knowledge except from the newspapers.
The evidences of old volcanic erupt;ons
exist all along the mountain ranges in
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada
up to Oregon. I believe they are most
numerous in Nevada"
When asked what the relative effect
would be on New. York city of shock
like that experience, by Charleston,
Professor Rees replied IN substance: ''in
loss Of life and property I should say
the disaster would be hundred fold
greater. There is so much more prop
erty and so many more people in small
compass IN this city that the results
would be greater IN proportion. Build
ings IN this city are run up to enormous
heights, with great sheet iron facings.
The streets, especially in the lower part
of the city, during the day time, are
crowded with people, and the falling OF
these decorative parts OF structures
would be exceedingly disastrous to life
and limb. The fact that New York
building is mostly done on rock founda-
lion and that nearly all the great struc-
lures are put together with Portland
cement instead of mortar might save the
destruction OF much valuable property,
but all the cheaply builtstructures would
suffer. The use OF Portland cement has
made buildings so solid that they can
only be torn down by the use OF explo-
sives. Even in such structures an earth
quake like that at Charleston would
break the window caps and lintels, and
prove very destructive

Hon. \. P. BUTLER, COMMISSIONS
Will you kindly answer the following:
1st. Can timothy and red clover, such
as IS grown further North, be successful
ly grown here?
I'd. Should they be planted i'll Fall 81
Spring?
Sd. What manures would you recon-
mend for them?
4th. Should they be grown together
OF separately to secure best results tor
hay?
ii they can be grown, / wish to expe-
riment fully, and if results are sat!stac-
tory, plant them extensively for hay.
l am not we'll enough acquainted with
this section to know, but from what l
can see, it appears that these grasses
should be cultivated here, and thereby
save the freights on hay from distan:
points.
Ii you viii kindly give me all necessS,
ry information on the subject, you Will
greatly oblige, yours truly,
Questions like the above very fre-
1uently come up for decision. In local
les where the timothy and red clover
grow successfully, they are Of such great
value to the farming interests that only
repeated failures can deter those who
have known them elsewhere. Our
country comprises Il vast extent through
many degrees OF latitude and great Ii
7ersity OF soil and climate. It cannot be
reasonably expected that throughout
these varying conditions any particular
agricultural product can DC successfully
cultivated. The grasses and clover what
are generally known as the agricultural
grasses cannot be probably grown IL
the lower portions of our State. They
have often been tried, and in garden
spots and other favored localities may
succeed toIerably well, but they car
never be used for field culture or foI
large areas.
Nature is very Dounttiifful, and leaves
no region ancarod for and without it
equivalents. Along the sandy belt OF
low country of this State, Of Georgia
and Florida, the grasses and clovers OF
more Northern latitudcs cannot be sue
cessfulIy cultivated, but We have excel
lent substitutes in the COW pea and vetcl!
for hay or for soiling, also the mlllets
and sorghums for the same purpose OF
for the silo, Bermuda grass and Means
grass for permanent pasturage and fol
hay, and the annual crab grass and crow
foot, both OF which make the very best
of hay.
These are some OF our substitutes.
Each and every region is blessed by !
bount;ful Providence, and it IS the part
of wisdom to make use OF those products
which are best adapted to each region
rather than to struggle against unnatura
conditions. Il. ". RAVESEL.
